Ignore the bad reviews!!!
I was worried about purchasing this item after reading the reviews, but I LOVE IT!!! I was able to put it together by myself in less than an hour. If you follow the instructions it is not hard. I only used half of the nails provided to secure the back panel and it is very sturdy. Be sure to screw the feet in tight or it will be a little wobbly. The fact that it comes with little stickers to cover the un-used holes is great! Makes it look a lot nicer. I am using it in my entry hallway to display books and picture frames. If you are on a budget like I am this is a great find!!

Love this!
After reading all the bad reviews I had to give my 2 cents.
First off, I put this together by myself. It is possible, but I would recommend 2 people for sure! Next I put it together wrong!! my top and bottom were where the sides should be and my sides were where my top and bottom should be! So pay attention to that when you are putting it together. Unfortunately I did not notice this until I had hammered on the cardboard backing! And taking it off seemed impossible!
I have to give Bed Bath and Beyond some credit. I called in the store and told them the mistake I had made and asked if there was anything they could do to help me. They simply told me to bring it back! So I took it back fully assembled and exchanged it for another one. This time I had some help putting it together and it turned out great!
I love all the different looks you can have with it.
But some tips...
-I do think you should have some help
-Make sure everything is facing the right way
-Be careful with the pegs, they can be flimsy

keep on looking
i was excited to find this unit, assuming it would be good quality because it is the real simple brand. sadly it is junk. it was easy enough to put together but very wobbly and unstable. i also wish the cubbies were a bit larger. i will be returning this to the store.

Surprised, impressed, happy with purchase
This unit is reasonably priced, and you assemble it yourself. So you can expect something solid and useful, but should know not to not expect the sturdiest and strongest piece of furniture ever. I've assembled a lot of bookshelves and the like, so I will say that when you're putting this one together, it is a little unsteadier than most. But once it is together and in place, it will be solid. I don't know what the negative reviewers did wrong, but just assemble it carefully per the instructions, and it will be fine.
I was disappointed when the instructions showed dowels and glue... but they actually include the wood glue, which most similar products don't. This was great. There was one other pleasant surprise--there are holes on the insides of the cubes for adding shelves, and they actually provide stickers to cover the holes that are not in use. Overall, this unit looks really nice and functions very well for its intended purpose of basic storage.
